- I keep hearing and reading
things like this; "Outside of the selected gospels
collected and edited into the official New
Testament, there is
no corroborating evidence of an actual Jesus existing."
This, of course, is absolutely ridiculous. There
are at least 20
non-believing authors from antiquity that wrote about Jesus.
These include Tacitus, Pliny the younger, and
Lucian. There is also the Gemara, which is the
second part of the Talmud. The Talmud is a central
text of Rabbinic Judaism,
second only to the Torah in
importance. While giving a decidedly unfavorable account
of Jesus, it inadvertently confirms several key
areas of His
life and ministry that are written about in the New Testament.
If you would like to learn more, you can hear quite a good
lecture on this
here...

Evidence for God: This site
gives some very good arguments for the existence of God.
"While absolute proof of the existence
of God cannot be realized by any human being, the great weight
of evidence, when rationally evaluated, clearly balances the
scales heavily in favor of God. We can
demonstrate 'beyond a reasonable doubt' that 'He is, ..."
- Jesus, Zoraster, Buddha, Socrates
&
Muhammad
In the list of names above, only Jesus
claimed
to be God
and only Jesus claimed to be the salvation of
all Mankind.
I have heard it
said
that Zoraster made these
same claims,
but this is simply not true. This site compares
the births,
lives, teachings, etc. of these
five historical
figures.Jesus, Zoraster, Buddha, Socrates & Muhammad. Jesus is
also the only one to claim a virgin birth,
accept worship (as to God), and claim the
ability to
forgive sins.
None of these others did so.
Though I
have heard some of it said
about Zoraster.
This is also not true.
Nor is it a
belief of Zoroastrianism.
To read their core beliefs check out this
website.
Zoroastrian beliefs about God
- Da Vinci Code - Priory of Sion
All of this is a myth, concocted (badly) by
people who are determined to discredit Jesus.
